About Tullaghan
Tullaghan is a small coastal village in north County Leitrim, close to the Donegal border and positioned between Bundoran and Kinlough, with Ballyshannon just across the border in County Donegal. It has a quiet, rural character, shaped by Atlantic scenery, nearby beaches and the wider Erne and north-west coastal landscape. Day-to-day life is village-based and peaceful, while Bundoran provides the nearest concentration of shops, cafés, restaurants, surf facilities and evening venues. Families have access to local primary schooling and a broader choice of secondary schools in Bundoran, Ballyshannon and Kinlough. Commuters generally rely on the N15 and regional bus services, with Sligo and Donegal towns accessible by road; rail services are available from Sligo. Local leisure centres on walking, surfing, swimming, fishing and Gaelic games, with Rossnowlagh and Bundoran adding further recreational options nearby. Tullaghan itself has limited commercial provision, so residents typically use nearby Bundoran, Ballyshannon and Kinlough for supermarkets, healthcare, banking and most everyday services. The village’s appeal is its open coastal setting and community atmosphere, combined with relatively straightforward access to larger north-west towns.
